"Reporting to the commander of the regiment, the current offensive of all units is going smoothly. The first battalion has removed 3 bunkers and 7 gun towers. These bunkers and gun towers are all thickened."
At the new regiment's temporary headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou smiled slightly and reported the latest battle situation to Li Yunlong:
"One battalion suffered more than 0 casualties, but the Japanese suffered at least 00 casualties. This is only the battle situation of one of the attacking troops."
"The attack speed of the First Battalion is very fast, and the tactics of the First Battalion Commander are very effective." Zhao Gang said, "At this speed, our main force will be able to complete the siege of Heyuan County by tomorrow morning at most."
"We don't need tomorrow morning, we can complete the siege at midnight at most."
Li Yunlong stared at the map and analyzed it carefully before saying.
Duan Pengli Sword Squadron had already conducted careful reconnaissance on the Japanese blockade.
A map was specially drawn, and the location of each Japanese bunker and gun tower was marked on the map.
This time the new regiment attacked the Japanese 36th Division, and Li Yunlong was well prepared.
Every red color on the map represents that the enemy's turrets or bunkers have been removed, and the Japanese inside the bunkers and turrets have all been roasted to become acquaintances.
"Old Li, why do you think the first phase of the battle can be completed so quickly?" Zhao Gang was puzzled.
"It's very simple." Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "The ten kilometers around the county are basically ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets. After we removed all the thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and turrets, these ordinary bunkers
and gun towers cannot stop our attack at all."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Gang quickly reacted: "After the thickened bunkers and gun towers were removed, the Japanese knew that ordinary reinforced concrete fortifications could not stop our new regiment's attack, so they would take the initiative to order the soldiers to withdraw.
In the county?”
"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, "Jingguan Ren is not a fool and would not leave those Japanese soldiers outside the city for us to kill."
Zhao Gang nodded and said that Li Yunlong's analysis was correct. According to the current advancement speed, Heyuan County can be surrounded in the second half of the night.
"The effect of this flamethrower is unexpectedly good!" Zhao Gang changed the subject and said.
As the first battalion advanced, the headquarters of the new regiment also moved forward. Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and others also saw the corpses of the Japanese that had been burnt to charcoal by flamethrowers.
"Of course. Can the weapon recommended by Brother Chen be less powerful?"
While lamenting its power, Commander Li also paid more and more attention to the flamethrower weapon.
A year ago, Li Yunlong remembered that Boss Chen strongly recommended flamethrowers to him. At that time, he paid attention to it, but he did not pay enough attention to it and only replaced more than 10 flamethrowers.
"In addition to the bazooka, flamethrowers should also be equipped in large numbers with troops in the future."
Li Yunlong said: "It is not necessary to equip each squad with one like the bazooka, but each platoon must be equipped with at least two flamethrowers. Using it to deal with the thickened bunkers and turrets of the Japanese is simply a magic weapon. It is also used for barbecues.
It is also a powerful weapon for Japanese infantry and grilling Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."
Now Li Yunlong really tasted the sweetness.
Wang Dehou calculated carefully silently and said: "If a platoon is equipped with two flamethrowers, it will require at least 700 flamethrowers. We only have 10 now."
"There's no rush." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "It should be enough after this business is completed."
…
In the direction of Anhua County, a road more than 0 kilometers away from the county.
Kong Jie was commanding the troops to attack a Japanese-thickened bunker.
Although the commander is Kong Jie, the attacking force is the New Regiment. The infantry, artillery and flamethrowers all belong to the New Regiment.
Since there was more than one thickened bunker and gun turret, the infantry, artillery and flamethrowers of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment all took turns to go into battle. Because Li Yunlong sent new tactics by telegram, heavy artillery, smoke grenades and flamethrowers, after changing to the new tactics
, the battle went smoothly, and the Japanese gun towers and bunkers were destroyed along the way. It was like entering an uninhabited country, and the results were rich.
The Japanese in the demolished bunkers and gun towers were almost cooked.
"Do you see it?"
"This is a new recruit who has just joined the army for two months. In terms of tactical coordination during the attack, he is no worse than our soldiers!"
Kong Jie pointed to a platoon in the seventh division of the New Regiment that was attacking the Japanese bunker in front, and said to his three battalion commanders.
The three battalion commanders raised their binoculars and saw that the soldiers of the new regiment were rapidly advancing in a triangular attack formation in a three-person combat team. Each soldier had a clear division of labor: attack, cover, and support.
Although the Independent Regiment is also practicing this tactic, most of the soldiers in the Independent Regiment are veterans.
Even the new recruits in the new regiment are so skilled in tactical coordination, so how good are the main forces in the new regiment wearing steel helmets?
The thickened turrets used to fight the Japanese were not fought by one unit, but by the infantry of the new regiment and the independent regiment taking turns to fight. However, the artillery and flamethrowers were both from the new regiment, and they also took turns.
After all, the independent regiment does not have heavy artillery and flamethrowers.
Kong Jie reprimanded the three infantry battalion commanders.
The three battalion commanders all stated that they would strengthen the training of tactical coordination among the troops after returning to the base area after the battle.
When he turned around, the corners of Kong Jie's mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly returned to his cold and stern expression.
Although the weapons and ammunition in the bunkers and gun turrets were basically burned away with a flamethrower, Li Yunlong said before the war that if a thickened bunker or thickened turret was removed at each end, Ding Wei and Kong Jie would get one.
0mm cannon.
Judging from the map, the Japanese built 36 thickened bunkers and gun towers in the direction of Anhua County.
If the battle goes well, Kong Jie will be able to obtain 36 0mm machine guns after the war.
Of course, the machine guns can be replaced with the same number of bazookas, 8mm mortars, flamethrowers and other weapons and ammunition.
If all were replaced with 8mm mortars, they would be considered a mortar regiment.
Our old Kong is going to get rich!
The first stage of the battle alone can make Lao Ding and I make a fortune. For the next battle, Kong Jie's eyes became more and more looking forward to it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Under the continuous bombardment of the 10mm heavy artillery, the smoke grenades appeared to blind the Japs machine gunners. The Japs had never seen this tactic before, and they were a little confused for a moment. Taking advantage of the Japs
When they were confused, the soldiers of the new regiment quickly arrived in front of the bunker. Two long fire dragons rushed into the Japanese bunker. A few seconds later, the screams of the Japanese were heard in the bunker.
The battle ended quickly.
"It's a lot of fun. This battle was a lot of fun!"
As the smoke dissipated, in the field of view of the telescope, I saw that another bunker was taken down in less than 10 minutes, and I suddenly had a bright smile on my face.
Another machine gun was obtained.
At this rate, 36 machine guns can be obtained in just half a day.
"Heavy artillery plus flamethrowers, not to mention a single thickened bunker and turret, even the Japanese fortress will have to drink a lot."
Kong Jie looked at the demolished bunker in the distance and smiled with disdain.
Then he shouted loudly: "Give me the order and keep moving forward!"
At the same time, in the direction of Ping'an County, the troops commanded by Ding Wei were advancing at a fast pace and had already destroyed 8 bunkers and gun towers.
…
Heyuan County.
The headquarters of the Japanese 36th Division.
Communications Captain Saburo Maze walked into the conference room, paused and said: "Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance team sent out is back!"
Jingguan Ren asked sharply: "How is the situation?"
Saburo Maze said: "Not long after the reconnaissance team left the city, they were attacked by a small group of Eighth Route Army troops and retreated into the city!"
Jingguan Ren asked in a deep voice: "So, until now, you still don't know what happened outside the city, right?"
"Hi!"
Saburo Maze lowered his head, turned around and retreated.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we are almost certain now." Ishikawa Zhishui said: "This must be the work of the Eighth Route Army. Maybe the Eighth Route Army is attacking the blockade and attacking the thickened bunkers and gun towers of the Imperial Army!"
Jingguan Ren stared at the map and nodded, he thought so too.
However, Jingguan Ren didn't pay too much attention, and even wanted to laugh: "It seems that Li Yunlong is quite anxious."
"Yes!" Ishikawa Zhisui laughed out loud and said in a relaxed tone: "Li Yunlong must have known that the imperial army was building thickened gun towers and bunkers, so he was so anxious to attack the blockade, because once all the bunkers and
After the construction of the gun towers is completed, when the new regiment attacks again, it will have to pay a greater price."
"It's useless to be anxious." Jingguan Ren snorted coldly and said: "The thickened and reinforced gun towers built by the imperial army can defend against attacks by any weapons of the new regiment. If Li Yunlong wants to destroy them, he will have to sacrifice his life to do so.
."
Jingguan Ren conservatively estimated that this wave should be able to kill at least two to three thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Each bunker and turret has at least one machine gun, and some bunkers and turrets have a machine gun. It is broad daylight, suitable for machine gunners.
According to previous experience, once a new regiment attacks, dozens or hundreds of companies will attack dozens or hundreds of gun towers at the same time.
These bunkers and blockhouses were built with a great expense of financial and material resources. Isn’t it too much to kill 30 Eighth Route Army soldiers for each thickened blockhouse or blockhouse?
Jingguan Ren seemed to see the award waving to him.
After arriving in northwest Shanxi, the 36th Division was almost always suppressed by the new regiment and suffered heavy losses. Now Jingguan Ren could finally feel proud.
Ishikawa Jisui said: "Your Excellency, division commander, would you like to apply for the aviation force to dispatch a reconnaissance aircraft to reconnoiter the blockade and take a look at the specific situation?"
"It makes sense." Jingguan Ren nodded, "Immediately report the situation here to Commander Yansong and apply for the dispatch of reconnaissance aircraft."
The First Army's flying team has not yet been reorganized, and Iwamatsu Yoshio also has to apply to the North China Front Army Headquarters to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft.
The losses of the Japanese aviation unit in the Battle of Taiyuan were so serious that the aviation unit of the North China Front has not yet recovered.
Jingguan Ren continued: "In addition, each county immediately sent a squadron of the Imperial Army and two battalions of the Imperial Association Army out of the city for reinforcements to expand the results of the battle."
After the Eighth Route Army's offensive was thwarted, it would definitely give up attacking gun towers and bunkers.
But he was still very cautious, fearing that the troops he sent out would be ambushed by the new regiment, so he only sent a small number of Japanese troops out of the city for reinforcements.
Up to now, Jingguan Ren is still very confident and looks like he has the upper hand.
Not only do we want to create a new team, but we also want to expand our results.
